Description

"Up to the last moment, his overwhelming, despotic authority aroused false hopes and deceived his people and his entourage.

Only at the end, when I watched the inglorious collapse and the obstinacy of his final downfall, was I able suddenly to fit together the bits of mosaic I had been amassing for twelve years into a complete picture of his opaque and sphinx-like personality." Otto DietrichWhen Otto Dietrich was invited in 1933 to become Adolf Hitler's press chief, he accepted with the simple, uncritical conviction that Adolf Hitler was a great man, dedicated to promoting peace and the welfare for the German people.

At the end of the war, imprisoned and disillusioned, Dietrich sat down to write what he had seen and heard in twelve years of the closest association with Hitler, requesting that it be published after his death. Dietrich's role placed him in a privileged position.

He was hired by Hitler in 1933, and was a confidant until 1945, and he worked and clashed with Joseph Goebbels.

His direct, personal experience of life at the heart in the Reich makes for compelling reading.
